During the current coronavirus pandemic, OOD Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors are conducting ongoing outreach to program participants and have identified that they need additional support to navigate their current situation. In response, OOD has developed a new service: REACH (Refer, Educate, And Check-In), to support and assist participants in the engagement of community and statewide resources (such as food banks, mental health services, and telehealth options) during the current coronavirus pandemic.

Vocational Rehabilitation Providers offering this service will complete check-ins with OOD participants to identify their current needs, provide information to address those needs, and make corresponding referrals when needed. They will also discuss the availability of employment opportunities identified on OOD’s Urgent Jobs List.

Providers interested in getting involved in REACH can read more on the OOD website. Individuals interested in getting started with OOD can visit www.OODWorks.com or call 800-282-4536.
